Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeons
Maxillofacial and oral surgeons are defined as specialized dentists that work with operations pertaining to the mouth, face, and jaw. In order to become a licensed oral & maxillofacial surgeon, a dentist must first complete 4 years of dental school. Once completed, they are then required to undergo 4 – 7 years of hospital-based surgical training. During this process, they are taught and prepared to take on surgeries involving both bones as well as the soft tissue of the mouth-neck and face.

Wisdom Teeth Removal
Wisdom teeth are the last set of teeth to emerge in the mouth. In cases where wisdom teeth align properly and do not cause any issues with gum tissue, they do not have to be extracted. Generally, wisdom teeth do not come in aligned and can cause serious oral complications if left unchecked.
In serious cases, if problem wisdom teeth are not extracted, they can cause bacteria to grow to cause serious infection. Additionally, pressure from emerging wisdom teeth may put pressure on the natural alignment of your teeth causing shifts in your natural orthodontic alignment. It is recommended that wisdom teeth are removed as soon as your doctor notices any issues. Early removal will decrease surgical risk when extracting the wisdom teeth.
